Ball drop test

The ball drop test is used to determine the single-ring resistance and flexibility of the surface of a touch screen under rapid deformation.

Ball drop tests are carried out according to the following standards:

• ISO 6272-1,
• DIN/ISO 6272-2,
• ASTM D2794,
• ASTM G14,
  "Interelectronix specialises in the construction of particularly robust and impact-resistant touchscreens that can withstand very high shock pulses." Christian Kühn, Managing Director
  One example is Impactinator® IK10, which can withstand more than 40 joules of shock pulses with a thickness of only 2.8mm.
